      Pros

      None that I can think of beyond a pretty campus.

      Cons

      R&D at the Pleasanton site is mean-spirited, myopic, cliquey, and full of managers who think their job is to belittle and diminish people who aren't exactly like them - They don't like or want people with advanced degrees, experience garnered outside the Clorox company, ability to think scientifically, or interest in thinking independently. They talk a big game, but their actions drive all of the talent out of the R&D organization. SO if you want to work somewhere full of cliques and bad behaving people in positions of authority, be paid 20% below standard for the SF Bay area, and drink whatever Koolaid management wants to feed you at the time, this may be the place for you. If you have scientific integrity, want to be valued for your knowledge, experience, and contributions to your workplace, find any other company in the Bay area.

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO: Flexible paid time off, subject to manager approval. Location: A better location for a CPG company. People: Friendly and smart coworkers.

      Cons

      Training and development: Training quality lags best-in-class CPG companies (e.g., P&G), where many senior marketing hires developed their foundational capabilities. The culture also places less emphasis on career development, mentorship, and internal talent growth. Compensation: Salary is not competitive relative to the Bay Area cost of living, and medical insurance options are expensive, making it difficult for many employees to build a long-term career in the region without external financial support. Career progression: Limited opportunities for advancement due to the organizational structure and low turnover in senior leadership. Technology and tools: Systems, technology, and ways of working lag modern standards despite being headquartered in the world's leading innovation hub. Culture: A risk-averse culture can slow decision-making and innovation.
